    Very good prices. However
    BEWARE: all of these dates coincide with golden week. Expect a lot of crowds and a lot of things to be closed.
    Also forget about going to japan in June as it is their wettest month.

    • Schema on 25/10/2019 - 07:47

      I went to Japan this year, and it rained one day out of two weeks (Sprinkled too)

      During June 15th - 30th.

      • WhatWhoWhyUsername on 28/10/2019 - 10:04

        How were the crowds and shops?
        were alot of things closed?

        • Schema on 28/10/2019 - 10:05

          Nothing was closed for me, it was way too hot and I'd only go back in winter again personally.

          Crowds were annoying, every two seconds someone would stop Infront of me..

      • fseng on 07/11/2019 - 14:54

        I would recommend go in mid-late may - early-mid June. I went last year end of may and returned 17th Jun. It was great. It did start to get a little bit hot near the end but mostly fine. Only had 1 day raining and it wasn't too bad as if you are in the city, you are mostly indoors. A Japanese guy did tell us that it is start to go into the rainy season so would not recommend stay further then 20 Jun.

      How can a whole month coincide with one week?

      I've spent the whole Golden Week in Japan and it was fine. Not much more crowded than usual.

        Yep. The main thing is that shinkansen trains are very busy at the beginning and end of Golden Week. Normally you don’t need to reserve tickets ahead of time. But if you want a seat at those busy times, it is best to reserve a seat at least a few days before.

        • IPYF on 25/10/2019 - 09:40

          Reserving a seat on a shinkansen is just sensible best-practice regardless, especially if you want to avoid being stuck near the always-fetid smoking section.

          • md333 on 25/10/2019 - 12:43

            @IPYF: Mostly but not always. I once booked seats to be safe, which resulted in my family all sitting apart because there weren't free seats together. Turned out the seats were only booked on the very last section, train was largely empty when we got on, and could have sat together with no problem if we hadn't booked.

      So does that mean we can expect Golden Showers?

      Some parts of the country have their highest rainfall in June. However, Tokyo is relatively drier in June, with September and October being much wetter (typhoon season). June is Sapporo’s driest month.

      Golden week is fantastic! So many more traditional activities to be done everywhere. Crowded yes, but an excellent way to see their culture.

    When is Golden week: 2019 and 2020 dates
    While the holidays of Golden Week officially fall on April 29 to May 5 of each year, travel and festivities often begin a day or two before the holidays and continue for a few days after.

    So, how long before Climate Change makes the Hanami festival and Golden Week coincide? hmmm

    • Meconium on 25/10/2019 - 11:32

      I think climate change is more likely to make cherry trees blossom earlier, i.e. moving earlier into March rather than later in April/May.

      • lainey13 on 25/10/2019 - 12:55

        This. Last 2 years the blossoms have been early.

        • Pandaboss on 26/10/2019 - 22:18

          Thanks for heads up. Going at the start of April till mid. Hoping to catch it in Tokyo or Osaka.

  • wndtanaka on 25/10/2019 - 10:07

    I believe the baggage allowance is 46kg for ANA and JAL. Japanese Airlines are very generous in this case.

    My experience with Golden Week this year:

    Not the end of the world but definitely a pain compared to other visits in the off season.

    You have to book the major shinkansen trips on the busier days ahead of time, otherwise you're outta luck. A lot of busy routes out of Tokyo are packed.

    Accommodation in certain places was really difficult and way more expensive than usual. Particularly places that a lot of domestic tourists head to, e.g. Kyoto. We had to switch guesthouse twice during a five day stay since nowhere had space across the whole time.

    I found that some of the attractions were wayyyyy busier than my last visit, mostly with domestic tourists. E.g. my first trip to Nara, the place was almost empty. Most recent visit I went back with some first time visitors and it was shoulder to shoulder.

    If you are off the beaten track it's not so bad. E.g. Lots of people travel to Kyoto, some of the easier to reach attractions like Tsumago / Magome were totally packed and booked out. But I think if you headed up to Hokkaido or into the wilder parts of Nagano or wherever you are probably better off.

    Overall, I reckon just the increased price of accommodation would very quickly eat your savings on this ticket. The days surrounding Golden Week were relatively quiet however.

    • ryu on 25/10/2019 - 13:46

      Japan might be a small country in terms of land size, but definitely has a big population at around 126 million. So it goes without saying when the whole country is having a long holiday together there will be big crowds everywhere, accommodation and transport would be in high demand. People are going back to their hometowns, on relaxing trips etc.

      I don't understand why those people are saying otherwise. Like the 126 million people are all staying at home for the whole golden week?

        Yeah, I wanted to comment because some of those comments were totally out of line with my experience.

        It is a wide spread through, as mentioned Kyoto was brutal to get to and stay in. However just a bit further down the line, getting to Himeji to see some old friends was easy as it's much less popular as a tourist spot.

        However, within Himeji, while it's an easy place to get around, some of the more touristy spots there were much busier than usual. E.g. the castle, when I first visited on off season, was completely open and you could take your time. Whereas one of the big Golden Week weekends, there were line ups for a long time, things were cordoned off so you had to make your way around the place in an orderly fashion, you were shuffled through constantly, much less pleasant although it's a great spot to visit.

        One observation, most of Tokyo isn't bad during Golden Week because a lot of people leave Tokyo to head back home, and less people come into Tokyo. But quite a lot of stuff is closed.

        Final comment, that muppet Bob is posting all the stuff about Fukushima. I went to the nuclear plant zone approximately 12 months after the tsunami, the day they pushed the exclusion zone back from 20km to 10km around the plant. When I was working as a journo. Had a geiger counter on us, met the people living in the zone, etc etc. While it was absolutely shocking, that was mostly damage from the tsunami. The radioactivity side has been vwell managed considering, the particles from that kind of reactor are heavy and settle in the soil in a fairly close area around the reactor, and most of that has since been cleaned up.

        The old people were eating contaminated vegetables and fish because they weren't gonna live long enough to see any effect anyway. The younger people just ate food from other parts of Japan. Most of Fukushima is totally safe. If you're very close to the reactor, just don't drink the river water on a rainy day, and wash your boots off otherwise. It's a really beautiful region, obviously a huge disaster for that area in a lot of ways, and the government didn't treat the people very well, but the radiation is not a major concern.

    Booking with Gotogate, so much cheaper than through airline. But they get you with seat selection fees. 124 for 2 people return flight

    • orly on 25/10/2019 - 15:20

      Only problem with the third party sites is that if you ever have a change of plans in itinerary, it's an absolute pain to get a hold of them as you can't change it through the airlines itself.

      • Pandaboss on 26/10/2019 - 22:22

        Did not book with Gotgate, total BS, Had a great fare locked in and went to pay, says credit card error. Tried multiple times until I gave up and booked directly through ANA, paid first time no issues.

        Maybe it was because of my security OTP.

  • Heybargain on 25/10/2019 - 17:09

    ANA is offering flights similarly priced for the same dates

    https://www.ana-enews.com/adhoc/20191025/637/au/index-e.html

    In case you have a preference for booking direct with the airline rather than through a third party.

    • Wally on 25/10/2019 - 18:00

      Doesn't a direct booking with an airline guarantee your seat, while a 3rd party booking is best effort to secure?

      • Toph Beifong on 27/10/2019 - 02:10

        Thanks. I booked direct with ANA. Cost a little more but I don't mind.
